The Railroad Land-Grants.

WASHINGTON, d. c., May 2l.-The
Secretary of the Interior yesterday
addressed communication to the
President, in which he states that a
large number of Immigrant railroads
have made indemnity selections to
the extent of their rights. The com
munication also contained tabulat-
ed statement showing the date of
withdrawal and the date of definite
location, or the time when the right
accrued for the several roads. He
recommends that a thirty.day notice,
to be published In leading newspa-
per IN the locality of the respective
roads, be given to their managers to
show cause, on day fixed in said
notice, why the orders of the Presi.
dent withdrawing certain lands from
the public domain should not be re.
voked and the lands restored to the
rights of settlement. The President
Endorsed his approval upon the COM
and Secretary Lamar
will take immediate steps to carry
out the suggestions 1t contains.

An Important Decision.

Searcy Beacon: In the case OF
Clark county vs.. HUE, decided by
the Supreme Court the liability OF
counties for the support and burial OF
paupers was clearly defined. The
court held that "there is no distinc-
ton in regard to the county's liza
bility for funeral expenses, and its
liability for services rendered to in
digent persons in their life time. In
both cases a previous adjudication
of poverty is necessary to fix liabil-
ity." The court held that the fol-
lowing instructions asked on behalf
of the county, In the circuit court,
express accurately the law appli-
cable to the case"
"In order to charge the county
for the burial expenses of Marion
York, resident Of Clark county, it
must appear from the records of the
county court that the said Marion
York had been duly and legally de-
clared paurer by the county
court"
The plaintiff cannot recover judg-
ment against the county for coffin
furnished or services rendered to a
destitute person where no contract
has been entered into with per.
son or persons authorized to bind
the county. The law will deem all
such things furnished and services
~nnIarnI rrotpitano -
"The county judge has no author
ity to adjudge an INDECENT person a
pauper, or to contract for his sup
port, medical treatment or burial
expenses, except in term time or
while he is holding county court. ;"

One FIag-One Country.

Nashville News: The advice OF
Master Workman Powderly to the
Knights of Labor throughout the
Uuited States, for them to meet on
the Fourth of July, and IN their Gel
ebrations "use only one flag, the
stars and stripes, and show to the
world, no matter where the Knight
of Labor as citizen was born. he
respects and honors the United
States flag" is timely and should be
needed. There are so many social
organizations welded to some other
than the flag of this government,
that the spectacle of one million la
boring men, banded together for the
amelioration Of mankind, the purifi-
cation of the body polite, and the
restoration of the peoples rights
guaranteed by the national constitu-
tion-would indeed be grand and in
spring. 1t is as much their flag as
any one, and if they commit them
selves before the world to all it typl-
fies, and then live up to the same,
their organization will grow rapidly
in numbers and be capable of WELD
ing immense power for good govern
ment by bringing about more har-
monious relations between citizens
of our country.
The Russellville Democrat., 1887-05-25
Paying the state Debt.

Washington Press: The State
Debt Board, composed of the Gov.
ernor, Auditor and Secretary of
State, has made the first call for the
redemption of bonds. The new law
provides that when the State treas
ury shall contain as much as $685.
900, collected for the payment of the
debt, the board shall advertise for
bids from the bondholders, and the
lowest offer OF bonds shall be &C.
cepted; but in no case shall the
board pay more than the amount of
the principal and the accumulated
interest of the bonds. At the time
of the passage of this law last winter
there was in the treasury balance
of $685., 900 available for the pay
ment of the State debt, and the rev.
enue for 1856. now being paid in,
will greatly increase this amount.
The law levies tax of one mill,
the proceeds to be devoted to the
payment OF the debt, and further
provides that bonds may be ex-
changed for ron interest. bearing
certificates, or State scrip, to the
full value of the principal and accum
INFLATED interest. Those certiii-
Gates are receivable for certain State
taxes, and are thus given CONNER
clal value, which makes them valu
able circulating medium. Altogeth-
err, this is the easiest and simplest
plan that could be devised for pay
ing the State debt and it will be
disposed of within very few years
without being felt as burden. The
amount thus to be absorbed does
not exceed 100000, and the ad-
justment of the account between the
State and federal government, au
thorized by the Legislature, will
wipe out the balance OF about 81
100000, without the payment of
dollar from the State. Then, with
reduced taxes and no debt whatever.
will stand, financially, at
the very head of the Union.

Dedicated to Boomerang.

Searcy Beacon: "Guilford Miller
settled on piece of land in Oregon
and made valuable improvements.
Afterwards railroad claimed il, as
indemnity outside of their grant, and
received patent. Miller appealed
10 the President. He directed the
Secretary OF the Interior TO cancel
the patent to the railroad and issue
one to Miller. This act of justice
has taken the country by surprise,
as the land department of the gov
eminent has heretofore been run
In the interest of the railroads, and
poor settlers had no remedy. The
Presidents action is meeting with
the approval of the people IN all
parts OF the country, and especially
Of the knights of Labor.-Exchange
The foregoing is respectfully re.
ferred to Bro. CarlLee, Of the White
River Journal. who insists that

interests of monopolists as against
the poor men OF the country"

Lets Elect Them.

Washington Press: The last issue
OF the Hope Gazette contains very
strong and able article advocating
the appointment of circuit aud su.
preme judges by the Governor and
increasing the tenure of their offices
several years, after the manner of
the federal judiciary. This question
has often been seriously debated,
and In some states these officers are
appointed while in the others they
are elected. Under the old republi.
can REGIME so many Of our officers
we're appointed, and the power of
appointment was so fearfully abused,
as to embitter the people against it,
even in safe hands. The people will
vote upon the necessltv for new
at the next election and
the discussion Of questions like this
is quite pertinent.
The Russellville Democrat., 1887-05-25
Uncle Sans Finances.

Post Dispatch: The Mint reports
an output of $35,000,000 worth of
gold and $5l, 100000 worth Of silver
from our mines during the year 1886,
and that in spite of silver coinage our
stock of gold is rapidly increasing.
We had on the 1ss of January $780,
100000 of gold coin in this country
and $Sl, 100000 worth OF gold bull
lion awaiting coinage in the Mlnts.
Our total stock of coin at that date
was 1884, 100000, and Of gold and
silver awaiting coinage we had $50,
100000 worth in the Mint, OF coin
and redeemable paper money we had
81, S79,9l9,935. This is more than
double the volume of currency we had
ten years ago. AS it is all at par
with gold, two-thirds of 1t full legal
tender, nearly half of it coin, and
nearly one-third of 1t gold coin, we
are pretty well fixed financially, and
there is good monetary basis at
least for all the business booms now
in sight.
The Russellville Democrat., 1887-05-25
rhe Land for American settlers.

The Land for American Settlers.
Mr.. Powderly represented every
honest man on this continent when
he said to reporter OF the New
York Herald:
"Mr. Cleveland has his hands on
the pillow and will, we all hope, keep
the team moving until the furrow is
finished way up to the fence"
The people are just beginning to
wake up to the enormity OF the land
swindle which has been going on
quietly and under cover for years.
Mr.. Cleveland proposes to examine
the subject personally. He has be
come greatly interested In it, and 1T is
easy to predict that the country will
hear from him before long. We do
not believe he is the man to leave
the pillow in the middle of the field,
says the Herald.
One Of the most exasperatlng fea-
lures in the history of land grabbing
is that so many aliens-absentee
landlords every one of them have
possessed themselves by speculative
hocus pocus and fraud of large tracts
of our territory. 1t is true that con
gress has put stop to the continu-
ance of these criminal proceedings,
but the stable door was locked after
the horse was stolen.
Look at some OF the figures. A
Dutch company owns A 500, 900 acres,
an English syndicate ownes 1900,
900 acres, German syndicate |,
100000 acres, and English earl so,
600 acres, and so on until we reach
the almost incredible amount of
more than 100000 acres vested in
aliens, who have no interest what
ever in our institutions, and who
spend the large revenue from these
lands abroad. There are in the
whole of Ireland about 20,000,000
acres. Then it is true that foreign
ers, perhaps hostile to republican
principles, now hold control of an
area between two and three times as
large as Ireland.
This is simply monstrous, but it
is fact. II is un-American, but it
is nevertheless a fact. 1t cannot
well be helped now, and that is a
very serious fact. 1t ought never to
have been possible for aliens TO buy
for mere song land intended for
American settlers and appraised at
a nominal value in order to enceur
age honest settlement by American
citizens, but it has been done.
This is not, then, political ques-
tion merely. 1t isa question close
ly connected with our national life.
1t is full time to do something about
the matter, and the president, in
putting his hands on the plough, has
done good thing for the country,
and we all hope he will keep the
team moving until the furrow is fin
ished way up to the fence.-Ex.
